Looking ahead to the time when land now under Axis dom-l
!nation will be wrested from them the army is operating a
school of military government under general supervision of
the provost marshal general at the University of Virginia in
Charlottesville
Designed to train ollicers for future duties in military gov-
ernment and liaison work the school provides a highly inten-
sified 16 weeks' course for qualified commissioned officers in the
army of the United States and to a small number of civilians
with specialized training The members of this latter group are
commissioned in the specialist reserve section Officers Reserve
corps prior to their attendance at the school
When the United States army captures territory from the
enemy it is the responsibility of the commanding general of
that particular theater of operations to set up a military gov
ernment over the occupied land llet

pool of technical talent has also
been established the members of
which are called upon to fill tech

Military Government Designeil to
Win Conquriett People
The experience gained in 20-odd
occupations during our history is
valuable as is that gained by other
of the United Nations whose experi-
ence is available to us The poliey
of the United States army in regard
to military government and the one
on which the teachings of the school
are based is as follows:
"The military government should
be Just humane and mild as prac-
ticable and the welfare of the people
governed should always be the aim
of every person engaged therein"
The school of military government
obtains its students from reeommen-
dations of the 10 service commands
various supply and administrative
divisions of the war department the
commanding generals of the various
armies frem personal applications
et offloers between the grades of
captain and colonel and from a se-
lected few ef the specially qualified
civilians commissioned in the Spe-
cialist Reserve seotion ()Moen Re-

Many factors must be taken into
consideration before determining the
particular type of military govern-
ment to be set up In each territory
Location is important—whether It
lies In the combat zone In the zone
of communications or is an occupied
country after the armistice This
condition greatly affects the proce-
dure on questions having to do with
protection of food and water sup-
plies rationing of food and clothing
guarding of hanks and public build-
ings establishment of blackouts etc
The final exercise in the course
given at the school consists of draw-
ing up plans for military govern-
ment of the principal enemy coun-
tries These final plans are put to
practical use by the army They
are studied by the proper authorities
for any valuable suggestions they
may contain as regards to actual
methods of operation when enemy
countries are occupied Students'
solutions are fitUditql by research
groups at the school for the purpose
of perfecting and refining them for
future consideration and employ-
ment The commandant of the school of

One thing that has helped the debt

further debt—for automobiles and
other commodities which just aren't

Will that memory fade? Will the
farmer's money begin to burn a hole
in his pocket? Will those green pas-

him beyond his means?
As I said the cautious folk in
Washington are a little worried

Washington—
Geometric City
The other day I heard on a radio
broadcast the statement that Wash-
ington was a geometric city We
have so many squares and circles
and other geometric figures—Dupont
circle that I pass every day Lafay-
ette square with its historic memo-
ries (not to mention its squirrels)
where I spend my extra seconds the
Octagon house built by a wealthy
friend of George Washington where
society was lavishly entertained in
the early 1800s nose preserved by
the A erican Institute of Architects
which bought it to preserve its state-
ly beauty as well as to house their
offlces the sprawling Pentagon
building of the army "a city with
a roof over it"
With this in mind I was suddenly
impressed with the new patterns im-
posed on Washington since the war
the human figures two of which I
watched over my lunch in a restau-
rant the other day At the next
table were not circles nor squares
but human loops and bulges
One was a slim man in eyeglasses
His nose was a loop his smooth hair
was looped back over his forehead
Ls gestures were looped the back
of the wrist bent and higher than
his fingertips as he dangled his ciga-
rette—I could only think of the paws
of a lackadaisical pup begging for
a sweet
His partner was Mr Bulge The
bulge began below the wrinkie in his
vest and it was the only thing that
kept him far enough away from the
table to save his bulging nose from
reaching the soup I could hear him
inhaling His hands bulged Eke the
padded arms of an overstufred chair
in a hotel lobby His cheeks were
pink and bulging hams
Washington is learning new les-
sons in human geometry
